The MB Invitational presented by Cobra Puma Golf returns on Monday, December 8, bringing World Long Drive’s best athletes to The Huntington Club for a full day of competition, celebrity level hospitality, and a mission that hits far beyond the grid. Now in its 13th year under the Driving Out Cancer umbrella, the MB Invitational has become one of the most meaningful stops on the long drive calendar.
A LONG DRIVE COMPETITION WITH PURPOSE
Driving Out Cancer began in 2012 and has grown into a standalone nonprofit dedicated to funding lifesaving research. This year’s MB Invitational continues that charge, with proceeds supporting UCI Anti Cancer research programs focused on lung cancer. Additional funds will also benefit the City of Hope and the RISE Foundation in the fight against osteosarcoma. The result is an event where every swing matters, not just for the title, but for families and patients counting on the next breakthrough.
World Long Drive is central to the experience. The MB Invitational consistently brings in top WLD talent. The eight finalists will advance to a televised shootout scheduled to air on Golf Channel in early 2026, extending the impact and the spotlight well beyond December.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
8:00 am Registration Opens
9:00 am Pro-Am Starts - shotgun start in a scramble format
2:00 pm Pro-Am Ends, Hole 1 opens to fans for the World Long Drive Final 8 Match Play.
3:00 pm Televised Event, WLD MB Invitational Match Play.
COMPETITION FORMAT
The Invitational uses a two phase structure.
PHASE 1 - QUALIFYING Qualifying is points based and happens on course during the pro-am. Four holes serve as qualifying stages: holes 1, 12, 16, and 18. On each hole, every long drive professional gets four balls from the black tees, with only the longest in bounds drive counting. Distances are measured from tee line to final resting point, including roll.
Points are awarded per hole based on finish, from 200 points for first, down to 25 points for eighth. Total points over all four holes determine the top eight who advance. Any tie for the final advancing spots triggers a playoff on hole 1, six balls in a 2:30 set. Seeding ties are broken by official World Rankings.
PHASE 2- MATCH PLAYThe top eight enter a single elimination bracket. Quarterfinal matchups follow standard seeding: 1 versus 8, 4 versus 5, 3 versus 6, and 2 versus 7. Each round is six balls total, alternate shot, with the higher seed choosing who goes first. Winners advance through semifinals to a head to head final, where the champion is crowned.

The distinction most people miss is between the player and the operator. Norway runs an exclusivity model, so games with high turnover or notable risk stay under public control rather than sitting in an open market. In practice that means Norsk Tipping holds the exclusive right for this category online and Norsk Rikstoto covers horse racing, which is worth confirming against evamia.no or the regulator directly before drawing conclusions. Some organisations, bingo operators and lotteries hold limited permits, but those are narrow and do not amount to what an international site with its own campaigns and VIP tiers offers. The stated purpose is limiting harm, enforcing age checks and keeping payments and marketing traceable. Whether it works as intended is a…
